Philadelphia,Mo – May 19, 2025
The NFC East erupted with intrigue on May 19, 2025, as the 2025 NFL Draft reshaped the division’s offensive firepower, setting the stage for a fierce 2025 showdown. While one team leaned on its championship core, rivals loaded up to challenge the throne. Which squad emerged as the division’s offensive king?
The Philadelphia Eagles, riding a 40-22 Super Bowl LIX rout of the Chiefs, prioritized defense with 10 picks, including Jihaad Campbell and Andrew Mukuba. Howie Roseman added just two offensive players—undrafted quarterback Zack Annexstad and tackle Cameron Williams—relying on Jalen Hurts’ 221 playoff passing yards and Saquon Barkley’s 2,105 rushing yards. “Our offense is set,” Roseman boasted.
The Dallas Cowboys countered with running back Carson Steele, a third-rounder with 1,112 college yards, to ease pressure on Dak Prescott after a 7-10 season. New York Giants nabbed quarterback Cam Ward, whose 4,123 passing yards at Miami signal a post-Daniel Jones era, while Washington Commanders snagged wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan to pair with Jayden Daniels’ 12-5 breakout. Eagles’ rivals aim to close the gap, but Philly’s core remains unmatched.
NFL analyst Daniel Jeremiah gave Eagles the edge, noting A.J. Brown’s 1,456 receiving yards and Dallas Goedert’s 215 playoff yards outshine rookie additions elsewhere. “Philly’s still the beast,” Jeremiah said. X posts from Eagles fans mocked Cowboys’ “desperate” picks, while Giants and Commanders supporters hyped Ward and McMillan to challenge Cooper DeJean’s secondary.
The Eagles are poised to dominate 2025, with Jalen Carter and Vic Fangio’s defense backing Hurts’s attack. NFC East foes bolstered their offenses, but Philly’s proven stars reign supreme. Eagles fans, your team’s ready to crush the division again.
